Dr. Samuel A Cartwright, of Louisiana, by 1848, had gained fame by publishing articles on the so called Negro. By 1851, he had 'discovered' and described numerous conditions, including the two 'maladies' I named above.
Mention of his work is noted in Ms. Washington's book. The paper was entitled Report on the DiseasesandPhysicalPeculiarities of the Negro Race, appearing in DeBow's Review Southern and Western States 7, no. 11. (1851) 692-696.
I stand corrected for identifying him as a psychiatrist. He was known to be a psychologist.
